Stacked Generations Display For 2D Cellular Automata

This isn’t something new, but a feature that was on my to do list for years after seeing it implemented elsewhere.

The idea is simple. You take a 2D CA and rather than render each step/cycle/update as a 2D image, you add the current 2D cell states as a layer of a 3D stack of cubes. Each slice of the cube is another step in the CA generation.
